Mazda is perhaps the only mass market auto manufacturer that has dabbled with the rotary engine for a few decades, and sold significant numbers of rotary-engined cars. Their legendary RX-7 is firmly cemented in enthusiast and tuner history as one of the greats. The RX-8 that followed was a bit more mellow, but added some family friendliness to the package while retaining that smooth, high-revving rotary motor. Apart from these models, there were a few others in history. One of these was the RX-3, which was offered between 1971 and 1978. This was the rotary-engined variant of the Mazda Grand Familia compact car, Mazda’s answer to Toyota’s fearsome Corolla and the Sunny from Nissan. Today, finding a Grand Familia is hard to say the least, much less its rarer rotary-engined variant, but we’ve got one right here. If you want a Japanese curio to grace your garage, this 1975 Mazda RX-3 awaits in Zephyrhills, Florida. It’s got an original 36,000 miles too.

One of the most legendary Japanese sports cars, the Mazda RX-7 is the one that truly dared to be different. While almost other cars have piston-engined powerplants, the RX-7 employs the rotary design pioneered by Felix Wankel several decades ago. Rotary engines are notably harder to maintain, but if done right, deliver smooth and powerful performance, as well as a distinctive soundtrack that is much-loved by aficianados. Also, they can rev pretty high, well over 8,000rpm in some cases. That’s why whenever an RX-7 like this 39,188-mile 1999 Mazda RX-7 comes on sale, they get snapped up quickly. This car resides in Tomball, Texas and comes with the legendary 13B-REW twin-turbo twin-rotor engine, a 5-speed manual box, a RE-Super G full widebody kit, and more.
The perfect drive is one everyone yearns to have in their lifetime; it's a moment of pure, unfiltered beauty when man and machine converge to become one. When one thinks of the “perfect drive,” one also assumes it comes with a hefty price tag for its exoticness. What if we had a way to bypass your bank account not being vacuumed out? Present today is the answer and takes shape with this 1991 Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition. With a reported 114,142 miles on its clock, this original special edition is a rare bird, ready to bring driving pleasure to its new custodian.
The Mazda RX-7 is one of the most popular sports cars in the world because of its mold-breaking rotary engine that’s proven to be a tuner’s dream. That’s why you see highly tuned and built examples like this 1989 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II “Mariah Mode 6 Stage V” around. It’s said to be Build #1 by Mariah Motorsports of Santa Barbara, California, and comes with a long list of components. The build plaque notes that the car has got an eye-widening 468 horsepower for you to play with. Furthermore, you’ve got the signatures of James Hagerty and Dan McCue on the engine shroud. We’re also told that the car has passed California Smog tests (March 2024) but is not CARB compliant.
One of the shortest-lived nameplates in Buick history has got to be the Invicta. In fact, this full-size offering packed in two generations within just five years. The first generation ran for 1959 and 1960, while the second was made from 1961 to 1963. Given the car’s short production run, it’s no surprise that the market isn’t awash with examples. Thankfully, we have this 53,667-mile 1959 Buick Invicta for sale today. With its 401ci V8 and automatic gearbox, this Miami-based classic is the perfect choice for someone seeking an unconventional automobile to cherish, and of course, drive.
This 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, in all its orange glory, comes from an era of resilience. The C3 or third-gen ‘Vette is the longest-running of them all, with a fourteen-year production run between 1968 and 1982. Cars like this one are historically significant because they weathered the most dreaded time in American auto history; the Malaise Era. Even during those times, the Corvette was still the fastest American car available. Now, you can see why, when you take a closer look at this 24,000-mile machine from Island Lake, Illinois. It’s a survivor, a stunning looker, and above all, never compromised on engines by always having a V8 beneath the hood. So why not buy this beautiful boulevard cruiser and stick it to today’s soulless EVs?
Cadillac may be best known for their massively opulent land yachts that really pushed the boundaries of full-size cars, but did you know that they had smaller options? In fact, they still do. Between 1976 and 2004, their midsize luxury car was the Seville. Named after a Spanish province renowned for art and architecture, today’s 1985 Cadillac Seville comes from the second generation of the nameplate. It’s got only 13,272 miles on its 4.1-liter throttle body injected V8, and features a four-speed automatic transmission. Interestingly, the car is front-wheel drive, as was typical back in the day. If you’d like to acquire this rather interesting piece of Eighties Americana, it’s currently up for grabs in Fountain Inn, South Carolina.
